Crete – Luxury weekend at The Blue Palace Resort and Spa

Greek adventure The Style Traveller

Crete – Luxury weekend at The Blue Palace Resort and Spa

Where? The Blue Palace Resort and Spa

When? June 2016

We flew with? Aegean Airways.

Why? I was very lucky to be invited out to Crete by luxury swimwear brand Melissa Odabash to attend the launch of her pop up beach boutique at the hotel. The trip was amazing with a super fun itinerary at The Blue palace including, sailing, wine tasting, sunbathing, spa treatments and lots of eating and drinking. We even managed to cram in a birthday champagne breakfast. Keep scrolling to see my photo diary of my Aegean adventure.

 Evening out Blue Palace Crete

After dark: The Blue Palace had several restaurants on site so we had a chance to get dressed up and head out for dinner each evening. My favourite was the Traditional Greek Restaurant, on the edge of the sea with beautiful views out to Spinalonga Island.

Wafting around in my Anthropologie Kimono. I love the ochre colours of the buildings at the Blue Palace accented by the turquoise of the pools. Such a beautiful location for shots.
